To customize Soovle ( click on 'engines' ) ...

At the upper right of the screen ( to the right of the secrets box ) is a link titled "engines". Once clicked, the Engine Selector will open, a mini-diagram of Soovle is at the top and a collection of search engine options is below.

To change your Soovle engines - Drag any engine icon onto a position in the mini-diagram of Soovle. Your Soovle page will immediately reflect your changes.

At the upper right of the screen ( currently behind the secrets box ) is a link titled "permalink". That link is updated automatically as Soovle is used and contains enough information to return Soovle to its current state.

To save that state, click on the link, then bookmark the resulting page. That bookmark can now be emailed or blogged for easy retrieval and sharing.

Click on the book, type into the input box, click the add button( the icon with the plus symbol.)

Also... if the list is important be sure to save your work to a file - do not trust the browser. To do this click on the down-arrow icon next to the graph.

How it is useful.

The items collected can be used for searching again in the future. To do so, click on the saved suggestion (this fills the search box), and press enter.

The items collected in the bucket can be printed as a list. To do this click the printer icon below the list of terms.

The items in the list can be researched using Google Keyword Analytics. Click on the graph icon to try this out.

The items in the list can be saved to a file for manipulation by a desktop application. To do this click on the icon with the downward-arrow on it - this icon is at the left of the graph icon.

To delete saves...

To remove one: Click on the tiny icon (to the right of the saved suggestion) with a minus symbol on it.

To remove them all: Click on the large icon (to the bottom-right of the saves box) with a minus symbol on it.

Help! My saves went missing...

There are a couple of reasons this might happen:

You changed domains.

Try going to www.soovle.com instead of soovle.com or soovle.com instead of www.soovle.com.

For client-side storage ( the mechanism behind Saved Suggestions ) the domain is the key to the stored data. If that domain is different from one session to the next the stored suggestions may be part of the other domains' storage.

This can be used to advantage as well... but that is left to the reader to discover.

Someone deleted them all. The big minus symbol will remove all the saves and does not provide any mechanism to retrieve them.

Someone cleared the browser's state or client-storage store.

Client-side storage is provided by the browser itself. If it decides, for whatever reason, to dump that storage. The saved suggestions will go with that dump.

The top internet keywords...

This list is the most used search suggestions provided by the major service providers and is organized by each letter of the alphabet.

These are found by clicking on the large star with the word "top" across it.

The top list is compiled nightly by querying each of the completion services of the major providers. Each provider's result is treated as a vote. The votes are tallied and the terms are ordered, within a letter-set, by the number of votes that query received.
